I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
I'll stay on the subject of Seattle today, but WAY before the days of Century 21, the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. This is a view of the groundbreaking ceremonies for an earlier fair. Taken on June 1, 1907, it looks like everyone in town must have turned out for the fun. The AYP looks like it was really something to have seen, with massive pavilions and exhibits built on this forested area. I'll be posting more AYP shots shortly.
